Work continues on the installation of IHAs (unarmed drones) at the Lefkoniko airport and a naval base in the occupied Trikomou - Famagusta area, according to Ersin Tatar.

In remarks to a correspondent of the Turkish Anatolia news agency and in an assessment of the closing year, the TC leader said the illegal airport in occupied Lefkonoiko was given to the "security forces" to become a base for Turkish IEDs.[/B] "You know that there are some studies for the naval base as well. These (the air and naval base) are being evaluated at a high level."

"The Republic of Turkey is a guarantor country. The Republic of Turkey is our motherland. The Republic of Turkey is the strongest and largest country in this region." The signals have been sent, he continued, saying that it is important to maintain stability in the Eastern Mediterranean, maintaining rights in the Blue Homeland and the Turkish-Greek balance in the region.

IHAs and SİHAs (drones with guns) and the Turkish Air Force's domination of the pseudo-state's airspace gave them strength,

Turkey has historical and legal rights to the island dating back to 1571 and this will continue, Ersin Tatar said. "The Turkish Cypriot people are really happy with Turkey's EU guarantees that the Turkish Armed Forces the Mehmetchik are on the island as a deterrent force Because our security here is guaranteed only by the presence of Turkish soldiers on this island."

According to the TC leader, developments regarding natural gas, hydrocarbons, energy and other issues in the Eastern Mediterranean have increased the political and strategic value of the pseudo-state in the region and stressed the importance of the sovereignty of the "country" in its airspace, FIR and maritime jurisdictions.
